Go and see Dr. Mauro at Southgate if anything is wrong with your pet. Our pugs have been patients of Dr. Mauro's for about 10 years now and she takes excellent care of them. She has been able to diagnose problems that other vets have given up on. We first found her with our first pug, Frankie, when he was less than a year old and another vet we were using charged us endless amounts of money and constant testing to diagnose a common puppy issue......one visit to Dr. Mauro - she stated "whipworm", gave us medication and the problem was gone! We have gone to her ever since. We have to pass several other animal hospitals to get to Southgate, but I would never go to anyone else. She has been there for us in emergencies and happy events and when we adopted our pugs Brodie and Una last year, she was the first person they visited for a checkup- the day after they came home with us. She can talk really fast and has tons of energy.........if that intimidates you, suck it up! Don't deny your pets her care!

all I need to warn is that Dr. Michelle Mauro has no interest in your pet other than how much money your pet can make her.I have been bringing my pets there for five years. I have had two very negative experiences. One last year, involved me ending up spending $ 3,000.00. foolishly, I decided to give this place another chance, being my pets had history there. I received another hefty estimate with out clear explanation of why things had to be done that she listed. She got snippy and seemed annoyed that we would question anything. Her assistant mishandled my cat, making his injury worse. She was rude, negative and offered little information on my pets problem. lLet me note, she has always been pushy about products and unnecessary treatments. So I brought my cat to my fathers vet, even though it was an hour away. luckily, the new vet was sweet, compassionate and highly informative. If that wasnt good enough, the bill was $ 125.00 less than Dr. Mauro's and my pet was treated and doing well now. Please, our pets are like our children, stay away from Southgate Animal Hospital, your asking for nothing but trouble. She is a money monger and uses our innocent pets as her vehicle. She leaves a very bad feeling in my stomach and I wouldnt trust her.

I took koko 3 weeks ago for her skin. There really wasn't a wait to see the doctor it was quick. The cost was outrageous. It cost 525.00 to get a blood test and shampoo and a antibiotic. To me that was just a little much

I a, a volunteer with an cat rescue group and have taken cats that i have fostered there. All of the staff and Vets are very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. You can get an appointment ASAP and the waiting time in the Vet is short.

These doctors really care for your pets. They're top-notch doctors with a gentle, thorough manner. Honest and careing, they take excellent care of your animals and keep you well informed. Everyone there loves animals and are there because they want to be. The office is kept very clean and there are never any lingering odors like at some other animal care locations. Staff can be a bit unorganized at times (you can be kept on hold a bit too long; they've occasionally ordered the wrong pet food), but they're easy to work with and friendly and outgoing. Their hours are varied and appointments are easy to get.
